My designs for the baby mutant embryos in Baxter Stockman’s lab in TMNT Mutant Mayhem. Enjoyed doing these. Funny to get an assignment like this. Wasn’t sure if I was designing characters or props lol. I think it’s technically both since they were modelers by the character department at Mikros.
The keyframe illustration at the top was collaged together in about a day from my mutant designs, an old image of Baxter and layout from Kent seki our Head of Cinematography. Putting together a kit with all the parts we had.
Next up on "things I noticed upon second viewing of Mutant Mayhem", it looks like Stockman's middle finger on his right hand is naturally shorter than the others.
Aside from being a really good, subtle way to physically indicate his self-professed outcast status and support the themes of societal hostility, it also accounts for:
Superfly's right claw, which seems to have developed as he grew up. If it's something he genetically inherited from Stockman, it all tracks.
